I'm still waiting to hear more information on this before I jump to judgement. I wonder if he actually pulled the gun on the girl and threatened her, or if he answered the door holding a gun because he looked out a peephole and couldn't see anyone standing there because she was too short or something like that.

The guy must live in a pretty bad neighborhood to answer the door with a gun in his hand. I haven't been to Temucla for several years, but it seemed like a pretty nice place the last time I was there.

Scary, but a good reason for parents not to have their kids engage in door to door selling. Having had my three kids involved in selling doughnuts, candy, Tom Watt kits and light bulbs back in the day, I understand the fundraising needs. I like several varieties of GS cookies, but at the same time am angered at the low return the scouts actually receive on a box of cookies. When it comes to fundraisers, I'm more inclined to support sales at a church or at a table in front of a store.

The Temecula Police Press Release states "When the victim knocked on the suspect's door, he opened the door and pointed a gun at her. The victim's father witnessed the incident".

That's still not much to go on. He could be having issues with others threatening him, etc. that is the reason behind him answering the door with a gun. We just don't know. It could be that as soon as he saw the little girl he put the gun away and apologized, or he could have yelled at her and threatened to shoot her. If it's the former then it's just the media out trying to make all gun owners look crazy and all charges should be dropped, if its the latter then he does deserve to be arrested.

I'm pro gun and am a life member of the NRA but this guy broke one of the golden rules of gun ownership "Never aim a gun at anything you do not intend to shoot".

I have no problem with gun ownership...but if I was out on the street or in the car waiting for my daughter while she was at the guy's door and he put a gun to her face and then put it away and apologized, I can't say I would be in much of a mood to accept his apology.

But then again, I guess you never know, how would he know my daughter wasn't packing, right?
